Day 94: Eff This Sickness Soup

I felt miserable at school (one nice teacher even informed me that I LOOKED miserable - how sweet!) and could not wait to be done with my private lessons and get HOME.

When the day was finally over and I was walking from the bus stop home, all I could think about was how I wanted Tom Kha soup from Thai Chili Jam in Portland. I thought about how I would call the order in ("S2, please! With a side of white rice and a Thai iced tea!") and then would call J to pick it up for me on her way home.

It wasn't the fact that I was in Madrid and not Portland that made me see the impossibility in my desire, but the idea that J would actually go and pick the soup up for me just because I was "sick." I looked at the time. Yeah, she'd probably be at work anyway and wouldn't be home for another million hours. I'd just have to go without soup.

I don't know why my brain works the way it does sometimes, but it always keeps me amused and giggling at myself - and I'm forever grateful for that!

By the time I walked in the door I felt all out of sorts. My nose was running down my face, I was freezing, I was sleepy, but I was SO hungry. Abby asked what was wrong the moment she saw me and I told her I didn't want to go out to get ingredients for soup, but that's all I wanted and I would have no choice but to brave the cold and march my sick, sick butt to the grocery store.

"I was just beginning to make soup for Katie and myself - we're not feeling well, either. You know? That 'Eff This Sickness Soup' I found a recipe online for last week and made? You can totally have some when it's ready! Get in your PJs, cozy up on the couch with a blanket and relax! I'll let you know when it's done. How was your day?"

Have I mentioned that I LOVE Abby???

 Like, seriously.

I rested on the couch and talked with her while she continued cooking and when the soup was finally ready we three gobbled it up. It was deliciousness in a bowl. Yum!! :)

It was honestly the most perfect night to a yucky sick day I could have ever dreamed up! <3

XOXO
